Why the FUCK does Verizon turn everything into horse shit?

Just went to a local ATT store to play with the G2 in person.
Holy cow AWESOME phone Next to the Galaxy S4, HTC One, Galaxy Note 3, iPhone 5S, the G2 was easily the best phone of the bunch on display in the store. Best screen, really cool looking with little to no bezels, thin and lightweight, super fast zero lag, very comfortable in hand, rested in hand nicely, and the knock-on feature is really cool to turn on the display, should be a standard Android feature.
In my mind now, the G2 is the best Android phone available, no question.
Yeah, less speculating, more using phones. The G2 display blows everything out of the water. The only reason this is a sleeper hit -- even among geeks -- is because LG seemingly sucks at developing marketing plans for the United States.
What did you think of the buttons being on the back? How did the build quality seem to you?

The only reason this is a sleeper is because LG has a history of coming out with amazing phones and then forgetting about them.
Also, why only release the Buttlerfly (Droid DNA) on verison and NEVER come out with a variant anywhere else? That was by far my favorite phone for the longest but since I wasn't on Verizon I couldn't use it.
How is LG's record in regards to getting updates out? Pretty timely or do they not give a crap?
(also, any word on the vine about this getting a Developer Edition?)
While I agree with you that there is a risk of untimely updates of future android versions, I would draw a distinction and say none of them be said to be particularly reliable in that regard for a variety of reasons, and also, I still don't believe that holds a candle to a more effective marketing plan.
We are a minority of even Android users.
This phone looks like it should weigh a lot, but it doesn't weigh ANYTHING, what the hell?!
How is LG w.r.t driver support - i.e. is it possible for a custom rom to also include the special features, like knock to turn on/off, or is that locked in proprietary drivers.
Now look at the all mighty Samsung. One of their flagship top phones, the Galaxy Note 2, has not been updated in one year The Note 2 released last year with Android 4.1...then in November 4.2 came and the Note 2 did not get it, then in June 4.3 came out, and Note 2 still did not get that either, and now 4.4 is coming out this month, and the best Samsung is saying is getting the older 4.3 update on the Note 2 in December, and no word whatsoever if it will ever get 4.4.
To be fair 4.2 wasn't a major update at all and very few phones have been updated to it, most that have it were launched with that version. The note 2 should have 4.3 in nov and Samsung has gone on the record to include in a list of devices that will get google's next major update (4.4).
Thanks, I haven't seen the 4.4 list from Samsung yet. All I heard was that the Note 2 would be the last of the phones getting 4.3, getting it in December, where as the S4 and S3 get 4.3 Oct / Nov.
4.2 was a big update just for the 'group messaging' option in the stock Messaging app, that was much needed and for me HUGE update. And 4.3 will come to the Note 2, pretty much 6 months after release, and the Note 2 will still be outdated, because 4.4 will be 2 months old by then, and the N2 will be behind the curve.

Is there any way to get a non-Verizon version of the G2 to work on their network? I'm having second thoughts about my Note 3 pre-order, but the Verizon version of G2 is so fucking ugly. What the hell was the purpose of changing it's design? SMH...

LTE perhaps, but I don't think overall because CDMA vs GSM... It's seriously time to dump CDMA. It was the better tech in some ways, but there's no denying that it's dying. And then Sprint's version has only weird LTE bands for them.
I don't think it would work. Oddly enough, Verizon's model can be unlocked to work on GSM networks. It lacks AT&T and T-Mobiles LTE bands, but it will work fine on HSPA+ with a SIM card. But I can't find anything about the reverse being true.
